Sun: Still quiet, over two months since a cycle 24 spot seen « Watts Up With That?

Its all quiet on the solar front. Too quiet. It has now been almost 2 and a half months since the last counted cycle 24 sunspot has been seen on April 13th, 2008. There was a tiny cycle 24 ”sunspeck” that appeared briefly on May 13th, but according to solar physicist Leif Svaalgaard, that one never was assigned a number and did not “count”. It is just barely discernable on this large image from that day.
